very highest rank, OF the reform which
Dress advocates +"
Mrs. Miller is cOmely woman in APP
pearance. and is very enthu ,iastc in her
dress reform agitation. As the New York
Graphic says: ''She herself is young and
att active, with figure SO tremendously
developed as to suggest strength, power
and beauty"
The reform which she is urging with so
much elo luence and grace seems to be the
coming one Mrs. Jenness-Miiler has the
advantage of high social position, being
o. the same family with the late Wendell
Phillips, and the poet, Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
at is in the fashionable world, of
course, where all the styles are deter
mined, and where the change must b.

Mrs. Miller insists that all women can
and must be beautiful, and will be so if
they follow her style of dress and self
treatment.
"Will YOU not state, briefly, in just
what your reform consists"
"Oh. with pleasure. | propose a jer-
sey fitting garment to be worn next to the
body, making of woman a vision of lowell
ness,

garment Of one piece without bands or
binding. covering the entire body also.

~. eve abandon the corset entirely
as totally unfit for use, in its common
form, and we substitute therefor a supple
supporting waist, and then We make the

every woman should heel will undoubt-
eddy give TO the women of America some
new ideas upon subject so very near to
each of them.
